Wednesday BP: Mike Yastrzemski named finalist for Roberto Clemente Award

Good morning, baseball fans!

Each season, a player from each MLB team is nominated for the Roberto Clemente Award, which is given annually to the player who best exemplifies the game of baseball, sportsmanship, community involvement and the individual’s contribution to the team.

Each team chooses one of their players who lives the values honored by the award, and a panel of baseball dignitaries votes on which player from all 30 teams will be that year’s winner. Fans get to vote as well, and their collective vote counts as one additional vote on the panel.
